Would JBHIFI ever be kind enough to sell me my preorder of Skyward Sword even if the street date hasn't broken? Are preorders sometimes an exception to the date?

I'm thinking about going in and asking today. Considering everyone has Mario already, I'd assume Zelda stock would be arriving any day now, if it hasn't already.

Looks like the AMD performance driver is out, No notes for SR3 though, Just rage and skyrim.

There's also another leak of drivers which is a different CCC or something. Looks like this leak comes with some application profile settings and some crossfire tweaks. Could be nice.

Stop seeing chiropractors and go to a physiotherapist. And if your GP recommends a chiropractor, get a new GP because they didn't listen in their first year of medicine or even their undergraduate degree.

The release date for Skyward Sword appears to be the same day that my US copy arrives via Play-Asia. It’s a Thursday, which wasn’t part of the plan :\

Concur.

also, if it's sport related, go see a proper sports specialist. Not doing this has cost me 6 months of not being able to exercise, at all. I'm not even meant to go for walks at lunch.

Hey doc, if you don't know, don't just bullshit me.

Yeah, the middle order put on a strong showing and got it together. Hard fought win, hopefully they carry this over to the summer.

I stopped seeing a chiropractor four years ago. Only spent a few sessions after he didn't do much. A Physio did a lot more in relieving the pain, even though it was more of a temporary solution.

It's my God damn birthday, motherfuckers! I would post one of those birthday comics, but I can't be arsed. And then I just realised I should have drawn my own birthday comic instead.

My work desk is decorated with balloons and birthday things. Aww. I started work at 6am this morning. Boo.

ANYWAY. Did anyone make that spreadsheet yet. I have started a Google Doc Spreadsheet because if it was up to me every office in the world would be using Google Docs for everything.

Which driver? I'm running 11.11 CAP2, don't know if there's anything newer out since then. Saw a minor improvement in framerates on CFX and single card, but CFX is still as inconsistent as fuck while single card will get a solid 30 no worries.

Edit: HB Gaz.

Done and done.

I'm thinking of buying myself one of those new Xbox 360 steering wheels for myself. Has anyone tried them out?

I will just be playing Daytona USA with it, so I figure the lack of pedals won't matter since real Daytona players never touch the brake anyway.

When I went to see the Chiro, it was the massage beforehand that I looked forward to most.

One thing to note is that Chiropractors can be quite good, the problem is that the ones with their own practice have become lazy and most are dangerous to go to. They find some stuff that works for most people and then just do that for everyone. The one I was going to often just made things worse, much worse.

The last and best time I went to a Chiro, was at the University Clinic just down the road from Macquarie Uni. These are essentially trainee Chiropractors but they must seek confirmation from the head guy there who is knowledgeable on all the latest research and such, before making any adjustments. Nothing will be done unless they are 100% sure it will help you; they'll do an X-ray in some circumstances to make sure, if they're not without one. Its also a lot cheaper ($30, or $15 if you're a student, first visit is free).

I must say that I was thoroughly impressed with what I left with. No adjustments were made at all (unlike the practicing Chiro I went to who made adjustments every single time). I was told that they thought they knew what the problem was, that my back was indeed misaligned and that weak muscles that usually don't do much, were bearing the brunt of the workload, the pain was from them being overworked. I was given exercises to strengthen those muscles and to return for assessment later as my progress would confirm or deny their suspicions.

I've been told there are similar places for physiotherapists. You can get the proper massages from students for much cheaper than the outside practicing ones, similarly priced to the student Chiro I described going to (I believe one in Sydney is in St Leonards or Artarmon).

So my first day following exams and I come down with a sore throat... hopefully it's not an infection.

It's my God damn birthday, motherfuckers!

I bought one of those wheels for Forza, but it's more useful in Daytona than anything else. Vibration is non-existent, but the analogue control is perfect for beasting Advanced.

Awesome. Though AMD really seem to have dropped the ball... Skyrim still having issues (not that I care), not to mention releasing 11.10 on the last day of October, then 11.11 less than two weeks later, THEN releasing 11.11a a week after that. As well as already having two CAPs out.

Edit: Cookie, did you see this? Custom profiles from within Catalyst! YES! Also, it looks like SR3 may have a custom profile in that driver, but it's not known whether it's new or it's just the CAP2 profile already included.

Believe it or not, I actually have a very interesting statement from Nintendo on the whole Gametraders/grey importing situation.

So Nintendo is saying anyone can buy from distributors but you need a credit account to buy direct, is that it? So who is bullshitting?

 

[Mistle]

My local JB in Shepparton just told me they have Zelda and will sell it to me when I go in today!

If the person who told me they have it thought I said "Skyrim" I'm gonna be so sad.

 

[markot]

So JB isnt stocking the special edition wiimote+ Zeldas >_<? SO I HAVE TO PAY 120 FOR IT AT THE STUPID STORES?! I DONT HAVE A WIIMOTE+ SO BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[Gazunta]

Wow, nice work Serrells. Very interesting.

 

[Jintor]

So, lacking local support from NintendoAU, Gametraders is more or less attempting to bypass the AID and AFA restrictions (which are presumably exactly the same as NintendoAU's general restrictions) and cash in via gray market importing and the consequential lack of beholden-ness to street dates? I note Nintendo doesn't say that they had supplies that GT didn't buy, merely that they 'strongly support' local supply. Does that mean via their distributors or via Nintendo directly?

 

[midonnay]

Only a matter of time until Mark Langford is in a car accident with a Nintendo employee riding shotgun.


Which came first?

Nintendo refusing to deal with Gametraders?

Or Gametraders being punished for breaking street date?

Via their distributors I'd say. That sounds fairly normal. Nintendo themselves deal with volume buyers, and the smaller traders buy from a distributor. It sounds reasonable enough that GT aren't high enough volume for Nintendo to bother dealing with directly. It's probably more expensive to buy from the distributor, so GT are trying to strongarm their way into buying direct.

Hey Marsh, might be worth dropping games that are not for resale in that spreadsheet. We discussed that the other day, at least initially it's probably worth using games that can't be on sold just to keep things safe for those being kind enough to provide community games.

Edit: Just added a few more games and people I saw being mentioned in the past day or so. Pls have a look (especially choc, roosters93, x3n0s, legend166, boardboarder), as some of you were added by me.

 

[Jintor]

From that information that sounds like a fair assessment.

Sounds good. I am planning to throw all my stuff up and if anyone is interested they can opt in for them. They are sitting downstairs unused atm so if someone is going to enjoy them they are more than welcome.

No picture at all?
